The Newfoundland trotted with a high

The next move was to give that pack a
tremendous thrashing, after which he

SHOT IN THE LEG,
BY a Target Gun At The Fair
Grounds This Morning.

About noon to-day, while Mr..
Joseph McGregor, proprietor of the
"Big Steer" side show was sitting at
the side of the fair grounds hotel, and
directly behind the target shooting
gallery, reading newspaper, he was
seen to reel from his chair and fall to
the ground. From his right leg,
about half way between the ankle and
knee a stream of blood was squirting
out fully three feet distant from
where he lay. The cause was soon
known. He had been shot, and it
happened like this: The proprietor
of the gallery, named B. III. Bons,
had been using % short cartridges.
All went well until small colOred
boy came up to try his luck.
Missing the target entirely, the ball
passed through a two inch board and
struck Mr.. McGregor on the inside
muscle of the leg, severing an artery.
The timely arrival at friends prevent
ed the unfortunate man from bleeding
to death. He was conveyed to a
room in the hotel and will soon re-
cover as nothing more serious result
ed than the loss of blood.

DIED ON THE TRACK.
an. J."-the Successful Winner
of the First Heat Fell Dead
on the Track.

The crowd of spectators were as
founded yesterday when "N. j." the
running steed plunged headlong
through the fence into the quarter
stretch and fell dead upon the grass.
Jacob Brooks, the jockey, was fortu-
nate indeed, receiving no injury but
a sprained ankle. "N. j." had won
the first heat in SO seconds
and started out with bright prospects
of coming in all right in the second.
1t was noticed that at the start the
rider hit the horse a sudden and Sc
we're cut that made him start at a
single bound, and perhaps caused the
rupture of a blood vessel. When
about one-half Of the distance had
been made the animal was seen hound
ing close against his antagonist in
in spite of all his rider could do to
prevent it, and kept it up until with
the swiftness of a bullet, plunged
headlong, rider and all, through the
fence and into the enclosure.
The horse was valued by Mr.. Hen
drick, the owner, at 81, 900 and would
surely have won the heat had not the
rupture of a blood vessel occurred
which caused the animals death.

A HORRIBLE STORY.
A Noted Mexican who Has Been
Fed Poison That Pro
duces Insanity.

City of Mexico. Aug. IA strange
story, strongly resembling the Italian
poisoning stories of the Middle Ages, has
has been going the rounds in this city. A
short time ago a prominent politician,
whose name is mentioned in connection
with a future presidential term, fell sud-
denly and mysteriously i'll. At first great
secrecy was observed in regard to the ma
ture of his indisposition, but it is
now beyond doubt that he is
insane. 1t is maintained in some
quarters that his disorder is caused by q
spinal injury which he suffered some
years ago, but the general belief leans to
another theory, according to which his in
sanity is caused by poison obtained from
a plant well known to the Indians of this
country. 1t is mixed with food in the
shape Of powder. and Its effect is to pro-
duce acute mental disorder. Personal
vengeance is assigned as the motive of the
supposed crime.
The sufferer is much esteemed by those
who, by personal intercourse, have had
the best opportunity of knowing him.
Great sympathy is expressed for his wife
and family.

FATE OF A RAVISHER.
His Career cut Short by the Rope
Route.

Leon, To-, Aug. II On Sunday morn
ing at l:20 band of masked men, num-
bering about thirty, rode into town from
the West, went quietly to the Jail and de-
manded the keys OF Sheriff Honnold, and
on his refusal to deliver them, they went
to work with sledges and hammers and
knocked the lock off. There were five
steel doors TO 60 through, and it took near
ly two hours to accomplish the work.
When they had succeeded in getting in
to the Jail they took James Il. Reynolds,
the man who was confined
there for committing an outrage on Mrs.
Noble two weeks ago. He was taken to a
bridge just at the west end of town and a
rope was placed around his neck and the
other end made fast to the banisters. He
was then given an opportunity to make a
statement with regard to the crime, but he
refused to say word, aid after waiting
about ten minutes for him to speak the
barrel on which he was standing was taken
from under him and he was left suspended
by the neck, and in few minutes was
dead. The mob then rode quickly away
and left him hanging.

A CARELESS DRIVER.
Causes Panic i'm the Street Cars

Yesterday evening when the threat.
ening clouds began to gather in the
west, people at the fair grounds seem.
ed to start In one solid mass for the
street cars. 1t required but a short
time to fill the cars from end to end.
The car was in front and directly
behind was another. While coming
down the hill between Kentucky and
Montrose streets the front car
came to staHdstill. The driver on
the rear car applied the brakes but
they failed to check the cars speed
and down it dashed, horses and all,
into the open car filled with people.
For little while panic ensued but
fortunately no one was hurt.

A Very Odd Young Lady.
Philadelphia Press.

fnHaoelPnla Irecs.
There was something of sensation
on the beach to-day, caused by a girl.
The sea, though cool and chilly, was
crowded. There were more people
here to-day than on any since the
opening of the season, and consequent
ly the crowd on the beach was very
large. But the young lady who was
responsible for the sensation got all the
room she wanted. Somebody spied
her coming across the road and down
the beach. Somebody else saw some
body looking. and by the time she
reached the outskirts of the crowd a
very large path was made for her.
She had been here about three days
and her apparent reticence and desire
not to meet people have made her
conspicuous around the hotel. She is
a beauty too, tall and dark, with
superb figure. The reason everybody
looked at her was on account of her
dress and surroundings. 1t wasn't
particularly loud, although it was de-
signed to display her charms to the
best advantage. Her perfect rounded
arms were bare to the shoulder, where
little white "wings" or puffs were loca-
ted. The material of the dress was
the usual shade of dark blue, but
more expensive than the usual run.
Her hose would have done justice to
any lyric queen. But with all that
there was an air of refinement about
her that was captivating. She was
followed by neat little French maid
who carried a large light blue robe,
very much in the style of an afghan.
1t was this that made people express
wonder. When the young lady emer-
ged from the water she walked up the
beach. The maid had spread the robe
and upon it the young lady "laid her
down to rest" Then the robe was
wrapped carefully around her fair
form. She remained in this position
for fully half an hour and caused great
food for the gossips. 1t might be all
right, but Cape May is not educated
up to that standard. Maybe she only
does it on cold days.

Antics Sells His Interest.

1t is generally understood that j..
+. Antes, who is half owner in the
Electric Light Works, has disposed
of his interest to Mr.. j. NJ. Quigley,
of the Waterworks company. The
works are now owned by Messrs.
Deutsch & Quigley. who, it is ru-
mored, will remove them from their
presnet location and the plant will be
very much changed and generally i'm
proved, hence the removal, because
there is not room for them in their
present location to improve them, as
they anticipate doing at an early
day.

The Heiress Hunter.

Harpef's Bazaar,
Nothing can be more contemplate
than the life of a man who makes q
show for few years that he may mar.
ry an heiress. He lives a purely
selfish existance: he is a mere cumberer
of the ground. To be the accomplished
man of society he may cultivate a few
gifts and graces, but he has no true
manhood. He may be a convenient
man to ask to dinner, an eminent club
favorite he puts down a very hand
some contribution to every bail list
and every fashionable charity he
should send good boquets, be well
mounted at the hunt; he must be one
of those colorless, civil, useless nonen-
titles whom society loves he must
have no disagreeable family connec-
tons. He will then be asked where
the heiresses 60.
He must be seen at every tea, ball,
reception he must give an occasional
theatre party he must know how to
be mean, and snub all the people who
have been civil to him, only inviting
those of the highest fashion who have
snubbed him he must be pure and
perfect snob. He will then be spoken
of as young man of the highest
fashion and excellent manners. He
must have that air of coldblooded in
gratitude which none but real snobs
know, and perfect blindness in seeing
bis friends of the past; he must do the
opulent bachelor business for a while,
and adopt the languid crutch and
toothpick style; he must fill his rooms
with bric-a-brac and Eastlake furni-
tures and give very recherche little
suppers. But if he wants an heiress
who knows the value of her money,
he must not appear fast or dissipated;
he should at least seem very respec-
table.

NEEDS LYNCHING,
For Outraging q Young Girl at
st. Joseph, No.

st. Joe, No, Aug. 1.-THE country
south of st. Joseph has been excited for
several weeks over an assault eammitted
win, by Jack Mccartney, a market gard
ener, in whose field Kittie was at work at
the time. The girl told her parents of the
assault, and a warrant was sworn out for
McCartney's arrest and placed in the
hands of Constable j. w. Mansfield, who
has not yet made q return on II.
The farmers in the vicinity of Mozart
ney's home, finding, after an investiga-
ton, that the crime was of more brutal
and 6endish character than they bad been
first told, organized posse few nights
after the assault and went to his home, in
tending to lynch him. Fortunately for
him he had not been seen In the country
since, although every effort is being made
to catch him. The interest in the Gaze,
which gained publicity a couple of weeks
ago, has been revived by letter from Nc
Cartney, dated Kansas City, addressed TO
the father of his victim, in which he says
that unless the case is hushed up that
he will return and kill the girl and her
father. He says also that the constable
saw him after the warrant had been issued,
and instead of arresting him advised him
to leave the country, even assisted him in
getting away. The letter is in the hands
Of Prosecuting Attorney Woodson, and if
Mccartney is captured now it will go hard
with him. He is about 80 years of age,
and couple of years ago married a mar
ket woman many years his senior, with
whom he has never lived pleasantly. His
standing has always been good until now.

It has been remarked that people

It has been remarked that people
throughout the world are becoming
distressingly alike. The Siamese
Princes who were recently in New
York City supply one of the numer'
Gus illustrations Of this fact. There
was nothing in their appearance to
attract particular attention. The
people of London, Paris and New
York are being copied more and more
nearly everywhere. Local peculiar.
tiles have long since disappeared from
the dress of the more prosperous
classes in the large European cities.
The market-places and the rural
regions must be resorted to by visitors
to find instances of the disappearing
national costumes. The rapidity with
which the japanese are putting on
Caucasian dress with Caucasian civi.
lization has been frequent subject of
note by correspondents. In CONSTANT
nople, Carlo, Tunis and Algiers the
Turk and Arab have largely given
way to the European. With Increased
intercourse the spirit of imitation is not
to be resisted. The Maori Chief who
was In London in behalf of the New
Zelanders year or two ago, it is said
put on the conventional black suit and
and silk hat, Notwithstanding the
bright tattooed stripes ON his face. He
was only prophet of the coming uni.
formity. There is a sad loss of
picturessueness in this, but there
seems to be no help for it, unless the
leaders of fashion come to the rescue.
The Swiss and Italian peasant girls
will copy the "ladies" as soon as cir
cumstances will permit. The VERT
able Scotch Highlander has disap-
peared. His costume has become
mainly relic, brought to light oc-
casionally for ceremonial or military
display. But so far as the semi
civilized imatators are concerned,
there is the comforting reflection that
with the change comes a gain in
civilization. The steam engine and
the telegraph follow the silk hat, and
AFFECT subsection to tyranny, polyga-
my, ETC., will ego" with the other
outgrown customs.

Will Make it hot for Him.

Marion ikan.) Record.
The devil generally has things his
own way in summer. The preachers
take to the woods, and the church
members likewise HE themselves to
the shade. And old satan, who is
used 10 summer weather, goes around
seeking whom he may devour, and
finding victims in abundance, with
none to modest or make him afraid.
But the good Methodists of Newton
propose to change all this, and are
getting ready for an old-fashioned
winter revival in midsummer.
